17 ‘A person cannot be more right than God.
People cannot be more pure than their Maker.

They can be crushed as easily as a moth!

17 It said, ‘Can a man be holy in the presence of God?
Can a man be pure before the one who made him?

He even blames his angels for mistakes.

They can be crushed more easily than a moth.
